LYNX Remote Control Interface
The LYNX Remote Control Interface is a technical alternative to the SNMP Remote
Control Interface mentioned in the previous section. The LYNX Remote Control Interface
is available on port 2306 (TCP and UDP) and provides access to all readable and
writeable parameters of the attached system.
There are certain advantages of the LYNX Remote Control Protocol over the SNMP
Remote Protocol:
•
It provides a very effective subscribe/callback mechanism. A remote controller
does not have to send repeated read-commands (polling) in order to monitor an
individual parameter
•
It provides a dynamic query functionality which makes any kind of static interface
description (like SNMP MIBs) obsolete. Instead the complete capabilities of the
current system can be queried at runtime.
•
It is very easy to develop / script / program because it is based on clear-text
ASCII messages
•
The LYNX Control system provides integrated debugging support which also
makes it very simple to make yourself familiar with the simple scripting syntax
The technical documentation of the LYNX Remote Control Interface (one HTML page) is
available free of charge from LYNX Technik. Please contact your local representative.
